THE MESSAGE OF RESIGNATION.
PARIS December 2d.-The text of Crews
message of resignation is as follows:
" So long as | had only to contend with
the difficulties that have accumulated in
my path, the attacks of the press, the alb
stention of the men whom the public voice
called to my side, and the increasing i'm
possibility to form ministry, | struggled
on and remained where duty bade me. But
at the moment when public opinion be-
came better informed the marked change
which gave me the hope of forming Gov
ernment, the Senate and Chamber of Dep
uties voted a double resolution, which, un-
der the form of an adjournment to a fixed
hour to await the Presidents promised
message, is tantamount to summoning the
President to resign.
" 1t would be my duty and right to resist,
but under the circumstances in which we
are placed, conflict between the Execu-
tive and Parliament might entail circum
stances which restrain me. Wisdom and
patriotism command me to yield.
Il leave to those who assume it, the re-
sponsibility for such precedent and for the
events that may ensue. l relinquish, with
out regret but not without sadness, the
dignity to which | have been twice raised
without solicitation, and in the exercising
of which / feel conscious l have done my
duty. To this l call France as a witness.
For nine years my Government has Sc.
cured to the country peace, order and lib
erty; has made France respected through
out the world; has worked unremittingly
to raise her, and in the midst of an armed
Europe leaves her in a condition to defend
her honor and rights. Further than this
it has been able to keep the Republic in the
wise internal course marked out by the in
terests and wishes of the country.
:" In return for this | have been removed

me. In leaving political life, / form but
one wish. 1t is that the Republic may not
be struck by the blows aimed at myself,
but that it issue triumphant from the dan
gers it is made to incur.
Il place on the bureau of the Chamber of
Deputies my resignation of the functions of
President of the French Republic
HOW 1T WAS RECEIVED.

ceived the message with profound silence.

THE PROTEST AGAINST FERRY.

THE REvOIUTIoNISTS.

PARIS, December 2d.-The crisis which
has been approaching has brought to the
surface much loose talk, but considerable
information has also been derived during
the heat of debate of more or less value,
which to some extent may explain events.
For instance, General Endes, who figures
as the head of the Blanquists, tells me that
of the various elements of the Revolution
ary party the BlanQuists are the most i'm
portant. numbering not less than 1900.
They are reported to be well organized
The other revolutionary elements are An
archists of whom there are reported to be
not less than 900, and this force is supple
mented by Socialists and workingmen.
Summing up all that is said, it is, perhaps,
fair to estimate the revolutionary element
as numbering $4,000 to 10000.
1t is perhaps the knowledge of these facts
that has led to the general departure of Wis
itors from Paris.
Prominent in the counsels of the various
wings of the revolutionists are Citizens
Ducquerey and Fourniere. The Executive
Committee of Blanouists is headed by Gen
eral Endes, who was war delegate in the
Commune.
THE RADICALS ALARMED.
The prominence that has been given
Ferry by the Presidents action at the last
moment alarmed the Radicals, who have
been at the bottom of the plot to upset
Grevy. Clemenceau and Rochefort, and
even Deroulde, pleaded with Grevy to save
the country from the Tonquinois.
READY FOR ANY TROUBLE.
General Saussier has 10000 troops under
his command in Paris, and eight regiments
of cavalry are at Versailles ready to move
at moments notice.
A RIOT IN THE STREETS.
PARIS. December 2d-[Evening. lon
the pretext that the Republic was threat
ened, hundreds of Revolutionists and So
cialists, followed by crowd composed of
all elements. started for the Hotel de Vile.
The police and cavalry charged the mob,
which retaliated with a volley of stones A
number of persons were wounded. The
mob was dispersed.
AFRAID TO ADJOURN.
The Municipal Council has resolved to
continue in permanent session.
ANOTHER MOB DISPERSED.
PARIS, December 2d.-Camelinat and
Duquery, Extremist Deputies, with Roche,
of lie Iatrdrlsigiant tried to ha-angue the
